15. April 2025 um 17:01 Uhr

We're honoring the franchise anniversary with returning items in the Black Lion Trading Company, a rewards update for Guild Wars, and more.

Twenty years ago this month, ArenaNet launched the first Guild Wars® campaign, which would eventually be called Prophecies™. Since then, it’s been our real joy to welcome many millions of players from all over the world to Tyria—first in the original Guild Wars, and more recently here in Guild Wars 2®.

We’re excited to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Guild Wars universe this month. Guild Wars retrospective items are back in the Guild Wars 2 Gem Store, the Anniversary Celebration festival kicks off in the original Guild Wars today with new and newly available items, and there’s a sale on Guild Wars game editions (including our new Guild Wars : The 20th Anniversary Masterpiece Collection).

Guild Wars Homage Items Return in Guild Wars 2

Select Guild Wars retrospective items are returning to the Guild Wars 2 Gem Store at a 20% discount! Pick up classic looks like Gwen’s Attire or the Primeval Dervish Outfit and weapon skins like the Storm Bow Skin, Bone Dragon Staff Skin, and Peacock Scepter Skin. These items will be available until April 29.

In addition to the cosmetics available from the Black Lion Trading Company, remember that a number of craftable and earnable weapons based on the original Guild Wars are always available, like the Destroyer and Tengu weapon sets, unique weapons like Fellblade and Razorstone, and of course the iconic Sunspear (as both a staff and a spear)—just to name a few!

Updated Rewards in Guild Wars

An update today makes rewards newly available in the original Guild Wars. Specifically, many items that were previously available only as promotional exclusives have been reissued. Promotional weapons—including those from preorders, like the iconic Sunspear, and regional launches—have been made into rare-quality drops from high-level enemies in the world. A selection of previously limited-release minis can also now be acquired in nontradeable form by completing quests for Merrise, Sworn to Seas in Embark Beach.

We’re also excited to announce that new weapon upgrades for main-hand weapons have been added to the game as rare drops. These “of the [Profession]” modifiers will boost the level of the named profession’s primary attribute to as much as 5 (unless you already have a higher value), even if you wouldn’t normally have access to that attribute. The modifiers will also display glowing particle effects in their profession’s associated color on any weapon they’re applied to.

While the ancient anniversary weaponsmith is visiting Embark Beach for the anniversary celebration, you can find unique weapons featuring the reissued weapon skins and the new suffix upgrades.

You can read more details about today’s game update on the Guild Wars wiki.

Save on a New Edition

If all the talk of classic items has you wanting to try out the original Guild Wars for the first time—or wanting to invite a friend to join you as you revisit it—you’re in luck! Starting today and for the next two weeks, editions of Guild Wars are 80% off—their best price ever! This includes the brand-new Guild Wars : The 20th Anniversary Masterpiece Collection, which includes all three campaigns (Prophecies™, Factions™, and Nightfall™), the Guild Wars : Eye of the North™ expansion, and the Bonus Mission Pack. Premium items like Xunlai storage panes, costumes, unlock packs, and more are all available at a 60% discount as well.

Wondering where to take advantage of the sale?

The Guild Wars : The 20th Anniversary Masterpiece Collection is available from the official Guild Wars 2 store. For all game editions, discounted costumes and services, and the Guild Wars : The 20th Anniversary Masterpiece Collection, head over to the original Guild Wars site. Various Guild Wars editions are also available on Steam.

Thank you to the entire Guild Wars community for being a part of this 20-year journey. It’s because of you that we’re able to continue creating stories and adventures in Tyria.

Super Adventure Festival 2025 Is Now Live
15. April 2025 um 16:00 Uhr

Moto is back with even more pixelated rewards!

Read More

Springtime in Tyria means one thing: it’s time for Guild Wars 2‘s most pixelated party, the Super Adventure Festival! Moto has once again opened the doors to his virtual world, inviting players to jump, battle, and collect a treasure trove of new and returning rewards. We also have a new mini event called Ooze Kitchen Endeavors that is perfect for players who are new to the festival! Read on for a quick rundown of the activities you can participate in during this festival and the rewards you can earn.

This yearly festival is now live and will be available until May 6. You can check out all the details in the full release notes on our official forums.

Where to Go

The Super Adventure Festival is located in Rata Sum. Check your in-game mail for an Invitation to the Super Adventure Festival and double-click the item to teleport instantly to the Super Adventure Box Hub. You can also travel to the Magustan Court Waypoint, which is conveniently located right next to the Super Adventure Box in Creator’s Commons.

A collection of rewards from this year's Super Adventure Festival including Super Rainbow Cloud and Retro-Forged weapons, a Mini Super Yellow Ooze, and Super Pagoda homestead decorations.

Epic Rewards Await

This year’s festival is packed with rewards, offering both classic and brand-new items for dedicated adventurers. The Powered Boots, a stylish addition to any virtual hero’s wardrobe, can be earned by completing the festival’s meta-achievement: (Annual) Super Adventure Box Nostalgia. For those looking to expand their arsenal, the Retro-Forged Torch, Retro-Forged Axe, and Retro-Forged Trident are available from Sparking Stone, a Super Adventure Festival weapon vendor.

If you’re looking to wield the power of unbridled joy, the Super Rainbow Cloud weapon set is here to light up your battles! These weapons are straight out of an 8-bit dream, with chunky, retro designs and a rainbow glow that shifts and shimmers like a classic arcade fever dream. Who needs stealth when you can blind your enemies with pure prismatic power!

Collectors and completionists won’t want to miss the chance to earn the Mini Super Yellow Ooze, awarded for completing the Super Ooze Baker achievement. Adding to the festival’s creative flair, eight new guild hall and homestead decorations are now available, all inspired by the Super Adventure Box aesthetic. From the Super Pagoda Arch to the Super Pagoda Roof, players can now design their own virtual worlds with unique structures like pagoda doors, floors, ponds, and walls. It’s the perfect way to bring some of SAB’s charm into your guild hall or homestead instance.

Four characters wield Super Rainbow Cloud weapon rewards from the Super Adventure Festival.

Introducing the Ooze Kitchen Endeavors

Moto is known for his experimental creations, and this year, he’s unveiling a brand-new mini challenge: the Ooze Kitchen Endeavors. Players are invited to test this new content, accessible through remote portals found in the starting zones: Queensdale, Metrica Province, Plains of Ashford, Wayfarer Foothills, and Caledon Forest.

Adventurers who step through these portals will find themselves in the Ooze Kitchen, where they must battle waves of aggressive oozes to gather ooze dough. The goal? Bake the ultimate dessert monster, the Great Yellow Cake Ooze, and then defeat it before it devours you!

Those who prove themselves as Super Ooze bakers can earn the Mini Super Yellow Ooze, and if you’re new to the Super Adventure Box, you can get early unlocks of the mini bomb and slingshot skills, which will help you on your virtual adventure. And of course, there are baubles to be won, making this a great way to stock up on currency for other festival goodies.

The best part? Anyone can participate. The Ooze Kitchen Endeavors is open to all players, even those just starting out, thanks to its easy access from starting zones.

Step into the Super Adventure Box!

Once you enter the Super Adventure Box, your usual skills take a back seat, replaced by a new set designed specifically for this retro-inspired challenge. While inside, you won’t take fall damage, but you also can’t use mounts or gliders—though you’ll find yourself much springier than usual!

The adventure spans two fully playable worlds, each packed with enemies, puzzles, and secrets. You can tailor your experience with different gameplay modes: Exploration Mode, which offers helpful guidance for those who prefer a more relaxed journey, and Tribulation Mode, which cranks up the difficulty for thrill seekers who enjoy a punishing test of skill.

Your quest begins in World 1, where you embark on a mission to rescue Princess Miya. Armed with nothing but a humble stick, you’ll need to fend off foes, hunt for hidden doors, and collect baubles—your key to purchasing better weapons and useful tools from in-world merchants. Some of these tools, like bombs, can even reveal secret areas filled with extra treasures.

Combat is simple yet strategic. Every hit you take costs you hearts, and losing them all will cost you a life. As long as you have lives left, you’ll respawn at your last checkpoint. Run out of lives? No problem! Just grab a Continue Coin from Moto and keep going!

Log in and experience the game within the game as the Super Adventure Festival is around until May 6. Happy adventuring!

“Repentance” Is Live

Following the events of “Godspawn,” the Tyrian Alliance is now aware of a looming threat hidden within the mursaat ruins deep in Janthir. In “Repentance,” the second of three major updates for Guild Wars 2®: Janthir Wilds™, you will venture even farther north into the Isles of Janthir, uncover unexpected perils, and end them before Tyria is endangered again. There’s plenty of new content to enjoy, so let’s dive into it!

A battle erupts in the Mistburned Barrens between the heroes of Tyria and ancient spirits.

What’s New?

In our previous blog, we explored the origins of Mistburned Barrens and how this fractured landscape came to be. We also delved into the lore of the mursaat, uncovering their influence on the world of Tyria. Now you can experience these stories firsthand with new content, challenges, and rewards. Here are the highlights from this update:

The latest rotation in the Wizard’s Vault introduces a fresh lineup of must-have rewards. Elevate your relaxation with the Skysage’s Throne, an elegant and celestial-inspired seat fit for the most distinguished adventurers. Meanwhile, the Wayward Wisp quest provides players with the opportunity to set forth on a new adventure—exclusive to the Wizard’s Vault—that will have you engaging with a wisp that appears on its own whims and rewards players with a forest wisp accessory and infusion.

For those looking to bolster their defenses, the Ward Knight’s gloves, shoulders, and boots offers a bold and sturdy look, ensuring you stand strong against any challenge. Meanwhile, the Old-Growth Weapons collection brings the power of nature into battle with intricate designs and an organic touch.

Then, April is packed with thrilling festivities, starting with the Dungeon Rush event, where adventurers can push their limits and reap valuable rewards. Following that, the Super Adventure Festival returns with new rewards, bringing nostalgic fun and platforming challenges to all who dare to enter Moto’s pixelated world.

Meanwhile, PvP enthusiasts can look forward to the PvP Push Beta, offering a glimpse at what’s next for structured competition.
